Seduction

Rated M

Chapter 16

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke hissed as he felt a hand around his waist.

Sasuke had not returned to school for the rest of the week when Hinata had left him in that broom closet. That day that she had left him, he left the school early. He did not need to stay in a school he had no desire to be in. He was sure that Hinata would change her seats in the classes they shared, or worse - ignore him and pretend that he did not exist. No, Sasuke had no need to follow in suite with his education he had more that enough to become successful. Besides, he was wealthy.

Karin Uzumaki giggled. "Happy to see me?" she asked in sing-song. "Not happy to see me?"

The red haired Uzumaki girl had walked inside his room as if she had been invited. Upon seeing her, Sasuke's eyes seem to darken more that they usually were already.

Sasuke growled. It was Karin that ruined everything he had going with Hinata. Sasuke was not sure what the Uzumaki girl thought she would accomplish by drugging him. Even when he had been drugged, all he did think about was Hinata. With him being sober, he would have not gotten back with her either way. Karin's intentions were confusing and idiotic.

"Get. Out." Sasuke hissed through his teeth. He was in no mood to deal with anyone.

Karin frowned. "But-"

"Get out!" Sasuke roared. How dare she - How did she even get inside the Manor? The Uchiha had high security surrounding their homes, their father made sure of it. Camera's had been on every corner of the outer walls of the Manor and even their many butler and maids knew how to hold their own against any intruder. Karin herself was definitely an intruder.

At Sasuke's shout, Karin flinches as if the whole house had shook and was seconds from crumbling to shambles. She began to back away from the Uchiha. "What's wrong-"

"What's wrong...?" Sasuke scoffed. 'Is she serious?'

"I-"

"You drugged me!" Sasuke hissed. "And you come to my house as if you were expecting a good fuck. You whore!"

Karin flinched once more. Sasuke had said some harsh things to her, but this seemed to take the cake. "But I-" Karin gulped. "I shouldn't have done that but-"

"Get the hell out of my house!" Sasuke snapped at her.

When Karin did not move, Sasuke grabbed the girl by her shoulder and dragged her out of his bedroom, down the hall kicking and screaming at him, even throwing punches and opened the front door to throw her out.

Sasuke had a disgusted look when Karin turned to face him with tearful eyes. He began to close the door when she began to talk. "Did you think you and her would ever be anything?" she cried.

Sasuke sneered. 'Of course not.' he thought. He was and Uchiha. Hinata was a Hyuga. Their genes did not mix. They said opposite's attract, and maybe they do, but when it concerned them, however, they did not. Their families despised one another and because of their constant dinner parties with the Uzumaki's or Sarutobi's and meeting's in the public eyes, outsiders would never have known.

"Hn." Sasuke moaned. He was in no mood to hear anything Karin had to say. His patience was a ticking time bomb.

"You...don't even know the truth." Karin sniffled, trying to dry her falling tears.

"You drugged and raped me, basically." Sasuke chuckled bitterly. "I know enough." Sasuke knew that if he kept speaking with Karin and keeping up with her shenanigans,he would eventually grow tired and maybe even attack the poor girl.

Karin shook her head. "I shouldn't have done that." she sighed. "I was trying to get back at Hinata..."

Sasuke was now furious. "She has done nothing to you!"he shouted at her.

Karing giggled. She was miserable. "You're right." she shrugged. "But what about to you?"

Sasuke stood watching the Uzumaki before him. 'What is she on?' he asked himself. The only possible thing that he could remember Hinata doing to him that would consider hurting him in any way was leaving him like she had in the broom closet. Balming him on something that had not been his fault. He had ended everything with Karin, he had. Hinata had been the only female he associated himself with - like she asked him to. He done a lot for her, just to be left. In an old, abandoned and dirty broom closet.

"What about me?" Sasuke crossed his arms.

"I could tell you the truth that you do not remember from that night." Karin offered. "But I want something in return."

Sasuke sneered. "Get off of my property, Karin." Sasuke said. "And do not come back."

Karin stood on her feet and slapped her hands onto the Uchiha Manor's door that Sasuke was about to slam. "Sasuke, listen to me-"

"Stay the hell away from Hinata." Sasuke warned, a knowing look in his eyes. "And stay the hell away from me."

With a loud bang, Karin had a door slammed in her face. A clicking sound had been heard and faint footsteps that had been walking away from said door.

Karin shook her head. All she requested for was an apology from Sasuke. She wished for him to apologize for taking her virtue, something that she had cherished before she involved herself with the Uchiha. Karin wasn't always manipulative and cunning. She was kind and had a warm heart. She cared for those around her and would always put other's before her. But there was something about Sasuke that made her selfish. Something about him that she just couldn't bring herself to share him, and even when she was willing to share him with the other girls he would sleep with, she knew that she was his first choice.

'Always his first choice.'

Karin began to walk after a while. She wrapped her arms around her chest as she strolled through the streets to go back to her won family manor across the city. She began to think about what she has done, not only to Hinata and Sasuke, but what she has done for herself, as well.

Karin was expelled from school. Her parent's were furious at the phone call they received and even more serious when they found out it was because of a boy. They had forbid her from all contact of the Uchiha heir and even stated that she would not attend any dinner parties while the Uchiha were present.

Karin made Hinata's life miserable, and now she had come to see that it had not been Hinata's fault. She was following a dare, and even so, it was not the red head's business to intertwine. Hinata was like her in a way, they both did end of falling for the Uchiha (if Hinata admitted it or knew it for herself).

Karin sighed. She would have never thought her life would have come to this. And especially of someone like Uchiha Sasuke.

It had been a while since Ino had talked to her friends (beside's Sakura). When she had awoken and had received messages from both Tenten and Hinata, she had thought that it was an emergency until she had read the messages stating that they would be at a local tea shop if they wished to join.

So Ino was quick to get out her bed and get ready. It was the quickest shower she ever took in her life. She didn't even bother to dry her hair completely, but instead placed it in a bun and went on her way. She had missed her friends, and after their conversation in the hallway, they had went their separate ways.

"Ino." Tenten called as the girl entered the shop.

Ino turned to see who called her. "Hey guys." she called for them awkwardly. She was surprised to see Sakura already there.

Things with her and Sakura had been even more intense. Now that everyone knew (or assuemed) that the two girls were a couple, they were far too embarrassed to be seen together in public. Hearing the whispers at school was enough to make them want hide and never be found.

Ino sat at a vacant seat next to Hinata who smiled at her. "So..." she started.

"I miss you guys." Hinata was the first to speak, which made the rest of the girls start confessing.

"Me, too." Tenten sighed. "Never thought I would admit it."

Sakura laughed. "It's been a long time..."

The girls talked about everything. Tenten talked about how she and Sasuke talked about their past life, and interesting enough, how they had been somewhat of a couple and had been the first girl he had sex with. the Yamanka, Haruno and Hyuga both gasped with wide eyes at the news Tenten had been hiding for years.

"It's a relief getting that off my chest." Tenten sighed, then giggled. "I'm over it."

Ino frowned. "I envy you." she took a sip of Sakura's tea.

Sakura, grabbing her tea back from Ino, nodded. "Same. But I can say that I do not feel anything for Sasuke, either."

Ino nodded and shook her head. "I can't believe this whole thing happened because we were jealous bitches."

Sakura furrowed her brows. "Neither can I. It's kind of...degrading."

"No offense," Tenten piped in. "Did you expect Sasuke to stay with you guys?"

Ino glared. "Well, did you?"

Tenten glared back. "Yes, I did. That was until he ignored after taking my virginity. He wasn't always an asshole."

Ino rolled her eyes.

The conversation had changed and the topic of Ino and Sakura had came up. The girls had admitted to "fooling around" a few times out of curiosity but never thought about actual dating. Ino had spoke and explained that she decided against it after Karin's exposure.

"I knew you too had something going on." Tenten teased.

Hinata giggled.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Please."

"Barely." Ino muttered, trying to get the images of her and Sakura's fooling around out of her head.

Then, again. The topic changed. It went to Hinata, and when the three girls had asked the shy Hyuga if she would consider taking Sasuke back, she shook her head. She had said that the dare was over and even admitted to having some feeling's for the Uchiha, but would rather not pursue them.

"So, you and Sasuke..."

"O-Over." Hinata sighed.

"You know he doesn't remember, right?" Tenten said.

Hinata nodded. "I do. But...I feel horrible." she sighed again. "I know he'll remember, again."

"Well, if you don't want him...then stay away from him." Ino shrugged. "He isn't good for you, Hinata. Trust our mistakes."

Sakura nodded in agreement with Ino.

Tenten shook her head. "He was different around Hinata."

Ino groaned. "Are you serious right now?"

"Yes, I am. Sasuke seemed like he genuinely changed." Tenten looked between her friends. "Did Sasuke ever try to win either of us back when he slept with someone else?"

"Well...no." Sakura answered. "But-"

"But he cares for Hinata." Tenten interrupted. "I'm not saying you should take him back, Hina, but...he doesn't know of the dare. You two could be something."

Ino glanced at Hinata. As did Sakura.

Hinata sighed. She knew her options. Take Sasuke back and let the guilt of the dare consume her, or let Sasuke go and eventually, probably, possibly, regret her decision. Or...she could tell him of the dare herself.

"Ugh." Hinata groaned. Her brain hurt.

"Having a love life is complicated, huh, Nata?" Ino giggled and gave the girl a hug. "I missed you."

Hinata grinned and hugged the Yamanaka back.

"Aww!" Sakura came in for the hug. "C'mon , Tenten, don't be a loser."

Rolling her eyes, Tenten went in for a sideways hug before being dragged into a bone crushing squeeze.

"Well...this is nice." said a voice from behind them.

The girls untangled themselves from a hug and looked to the voice.

"This bitch..." Ino muttered.

"Karin." Tenten said in acknowledgement.

Sakura glared at the girl. "What do you want."

Karin shook her head. "I'm fine." she told them. "Just came to apologize."

"Are we suppose to believe that?" Ino sneered.

"Believe it or not, blondie, but I am sorry." Karin bit her lip and looked around the room. "Look, I know I'm not wanted here and I have a ticket to Uzushiogakure for next week. I want to make amends before I go."

"Y-You're leaving?" Hinata asked. "But why?"

Karin scoffed. "Are you joking?"

"Everyone hates her." said Sakura.

"Plus she's been expelled." Ino said.

"Word travel's fast, I see..." Karin trailed off. "Look, I don't expect us to be friends. And honestly, I do not care if you take my apology or not but...Sakura, Ino, I apologize for exposing you. I let my anger for Sasuke get the better of me."

Ino and Sakura nodded. They understood Karin completely. She was not the only one that Sasuke hurt and wished revenge on him. They were in no position to judge her.

"Hinata..." Karin coughed. "Um,"

"You d-dont-"

Karin motioned Hinata to let her finish. Opening her mouth, she continued. "I didn't have to let my jealousy consume me and hurt you when Sasuke was at fault. I realize this now...and I apologize."

Hinata nodded. The Uzumaki's apology meant a lot to her. But before she could say her thanks, Karin had walked across the shop and out the door. All four girls looked at the door in awe.

"Well...who know Karin was capable of apologies." Ino spoke.

"Oh Sasuke...you're so naive." Karin shook her head. The blinking red light on her camcorder had been flashing fast. "Tell me, Sasuke...why do you think Hinata allowed herself to get close to you." Karin began to laugh.

When the Uzumaki had arrived home, she went straight to her bedroom and got out her own camcorder. She made sure her appearance had been decent. Not for Sasuke, but for herself. She was over the Uchiha, she was. But still, she was angered. And she was hurt. And even if she did know that it was not Hinata's fault for falling for Sasuke and possibly making Sasuke fall for her, it was Sasuke who had truly hurt her. 'And if I have to hurt Hinata to hurt Sasuke...then I will.'

"You are nothing Sasuke." Karin began to giggle. "Nothing but a dare given by Sakura and Ino to get back at you. Hinata was a pawn in their game and so were you. She never cared for you."

Karin grabbed her water bottle from her desk and took a swig. "I know," she nodded her head. "You probably think I'm lying. And I do lie, about a lot of things. But not this."

Karin remembered back to the Halloween Dance and began to smirk. "I remember the Halloween Ball, before I drugged you...I apologize about that, by the way. That was childish of me." Karin coughed. "You do not remember, but you will soon, Sasuke."

Karin stared at the flashing light for a second before shaking her head. She had the video or the Halloween Ball. She had her proof to show Sasuke that he was not loved by Hinata (and even if he was, she did not care. She wanted Sasuke to hurt like she hurt). She was no better than the girls she was exposing, but she never claimed to be.

"Have you slept with Hinata, Sasuke? That would be a bonus, you know? In the dare, for her to sleep with you." Karin scoffed. "But go ahead. Win her back, and when you do sleep with her, Sasuke-kun, remember these words I am telling you know and the video's of proof that I show you."

Karin tilted her head, her long tresses now around her shoulders. "I know you probably don't want to use her...but she's using you. She is not afraid of using you but yet...who am I to judge. I allowed you to use me." Karin swallowed and took a deep breath. "I have said my piece and now I will go, Sasuke. I hope when you see this video that it upsets you...I won't even life."

Karin smiled and waved at the camera. "I'll be around, Sasuke. Just not for you any longer."

Karin turned off her camcorder and went to her laptop. She gulped. Afters she sent this to Sasuke, she would no longer be in Konoha. There was nothing left in Konoha for her besides her family, and even that she was not willing to stay. No, she would go to Uzushiogakure, where her family had originated from. She would continue her studies there and form her own life. Konohagakure had nothing for her now but memories she wished to forget.

Karin began to hum a tune she had heard recently as she edited the video and even added the video of Sakura, Ino and Hinata discussing the dare. She would not be having second thoughts. She did not care if she would be hated. 'I'm leaving this damn village, anyways.' she told herself. 'I'll show Sasuke how it feels to have his heart broken.'

Hinata had not seen Sasuke for nearly a month. It was now December (her birth month) and Sasuke had been ghost. Vanished. Disappeared from the face of the Earth since she left him stranded alone in the abandoned broom closet. She had not received any apology texts, any missed phone calls (or declined any for that matter) or even any letters. Sasuke had not shown up to school, either. Her place next to her had been vacant for far too long and Hinata had considered going to the Uchiha Manor to see if Sasuke was alright. But, of course, she decided against it. Seeing Sasuke after all this time would do nothing but make her want to fall into her arms - she was sure of it. She missed the youngest Uchiha, she would admit it freely.

"Um..." Hinata had spoke when she strolled to Itachi's desk to give her professor her finished assignment.

"Ah, Hinata-sama." Itachi looked from his book. "Long time, has it not?"

Hinata nodded and gave a nervous laugh. "I-Is Sasuke, o-okay?" she asked Itachi.

Itachi hummed. "Do you care?" he responded.

Hinata frowned. 'Of course I do!'

"You have not sent my brother any messages. You have not took a minute out of your day to call him, nor have you attempted to speak with him." Itachi blacked the open book down on his desk. "Have you apologized for using him, as well?"

Hinata gasped. "I..I-"

"If you are planning on telling me that you have not used my baby brother, Hinata-sama, then save your breath." Itachi interrupted. The professor crossed his legs and sat back at his seat.

Hinata bit her tongue from what she wished to say.

"Cat got your tongue?" Itachi teased.

"Well, u-um..." Hinata gulped. "You are no better." she whispered.

"Excuse me?" Itachi furrowed a brow.

"Y-You used me f-for your perverted desires." She hissed lowly to her professor, which made Itachi widen his eyes.

"Watch what you say to me, Hinata-sama." Itachi warned, his eyes darkening. Hinata noticed that his eyes were like Sasuke's when they were anger. 'Must be an Uchiha thing...'

"Y-You judge m-me but you are n-no better!" Hinata felt the tears ready to drop. She was highly upset.

"Careful who you are talking to, Hinata-sama." Itachi, again, warned.

Hinata shook her head. She could no longer sit in this class any longer. "I-I'm leaving." she told Itachi. The heiress turned and walked away from his desk and out the classroom, not wanting to stay in their any longer. She sat at her desk day by day and wondered if Sasuke was alright, and wondered if he knew about the dare and that was why he had not attempt to speak with her in so long.

Hinata sighed and crossed her arms. She would make it her mission to see Sasuke. She truly did miss the youngest Uchiha.

"Surprise, surprise." Sasuke said when he opened his door to see no one other than Hinata. "You look a mess." he noted.

Hinata exhaled. She was sure of it. She had walked all the way to his Manor by foot, for one, and it had been snowing the day prior so not only was the Hyuga cold, but she slipped a few times on ice. But, she was determined to make it to Sasuke's house to make sure he was alright. And he was. Alright.

"You're alright." Hinata took a sigh of relief. "G-Good."

Sasuke tilted his head. "Of course I am." he said. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"It's just..." Hinata stopped herself. "This is y-yours." she said, and handed him a box that had been on his doorstep when she arrived. "It was s-sitting here."

Sasuke took the box and nodded. He pushed the door wider. "You look cold." he token.

Hinata did not bother to lie and say she wasn't, neither did she decline his offer. She huddled inside the warm Manor and shivered. "T-Thanks..."

Sasuke nodded. He began to walk towards his sitting room. Hinata followed.

"You were saying." Sasuke looked her way. "You can sit down."

Hinata nodded and sat across from him, taking in the warmth of the fire place that was lit. "I-I...haven't seen you in a while." she told him. "You missed a-a lot of-"

"Itachi gives me my work." Sasuke interrupted.

"Ah," Hinata gave Sasuke a nod. After he spoke, the silence came in.

Sasuke took a chance to study her. She was obviously cold, which gave Sasuke the impression that she had walked her way here (which was stupid since he knew she had a driver). Her hair looked as though she had not bother to brush it since he seen her, which was a while. Her skin was paler than usually, a little too pale for Sasuke not to be suspicious. "Are you alright?" he asked her.

Hinata took her eyes off of the fireplace to look at Sasuke. When she seen the honesty in her eyes, she shook her head. "N-No..." she stuttered, her voice cracking.

'Here come's the waterworks.' Sasuke mentally groaned. "What's...wrong?" He had not seen Hinata in a month and when he did see her, she cries. Girls were confusing

"I miss you." she confessed, then proceeded to cry.

"Then why are you crying?" Sasuke sat awkwardly.

"B-B-Because this i-is all my f-fault." Hinata sniffled.

Sasuke scoffed. "Hina-"

"A-And I haven s-seen y-you and I-I thought y-you w-were hurt o-or" Hinata hiccuped.

"I'm fine, Hinata." Sasuke stood. "Calm down before you pass out."

Hinata took a few deep breaths to stop her hiccups. She began to wipe away her tears, thinking how pathetic she was to ignore Sasuke then come knocking at his door when he decided to do the same and move on.

"Now," Sasuke chuckled, the awkwardness away. "anything else you need to tell me."

Hinata bit her lip. "A-Are you ever coming back? To school, that is?"

Sasuke smirked. "Do you miss me?" he teased. Seeing Hinata blush bright red made his day. How he missed teasing the small girl and making her blush by the mos simplest things... "I will return. After Christmas break."

"B-Break is next w-week."

"I am aware. The rumors should die down by then." Sasuke stretched his arms out. "And I can resume my studies."

Hinata gave Sasuke a gesture with her hands. "G-Good." she whispered. "I-I...really do miss you, S-Sasuke-kun."

And there it was again. The words Hinata would say that would make him remember their times together. The teasing, the kissing, the sassiness. It was as if he was given a second chance at this, but he did not bother to dwell on it. Hinata was coming around, and having her here as a friend was better than not having her at all. 'With time, she will forgive me.'

"I should g-get going." Hinata stood and bowed to Sasuke. "I-It was nice t-to see you, S-Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke nodded back and walked her towards his door. "I'll have Matsu drive you."

Sasuke had called from one of the Uchiha Manor phones for a car to take Hyuga Hinata home and insisted that they be careful. Hinata smiled warmly towards Sasuke before giving her thanks. "After break." she whispered.

"After break." Sasuke responded.
